There was considerable promise in Duke Of Bronte’s first run in more than three years at Fontwell and he’ll know more today. Lupus Regem wasn’t beaten far under a penalty at Wetherby after scoring at Newcastle but SILVER FLYER would have gone close to following up an earlier victory at Catterick had his jumping been slicker at Carlisle and this well-bred son of Malinas is worth another chance. Collateral form gives him the beating of Ask The Doc.
